What finally helped my son focus (and helped keep us from getting sick during the school year)

 
 
 
 

I still remember the year my son got diagnosed with ADHD. We were deep in the back-to-school chaos, and nothing we tried was helping him settle into a routine. Focus felt impossible. Mornings were stressful. And honestly—I felt like I was failing him.

We tried the traditional route, but the side effects of medication were tough. He felt like something was “wrong” with him, and I felt stuck. All I wanted was something that supported his brain, his emotions, and his health—without adding more overwhelm to our lives.

So I asked my husband (who’s a gastroenterologist) if essential oils were safe, and he said yes. That was the green light I needed. I got serious about simplifying our wellness tools, starting with brain support, immune support, and stress relief.

And let me tell you: the results were night and day.
✅ He focused better—without shutting down.
✅ We dodged most school-year sicknesses.
✅ And I wasn’t riding the emotional rollercoaster anymore.

So if you're heading into the school year feeling nervous, tired, or just hoping things will be different—this email is for you. These are the 3 products that helped us feel better, think clearer, and stay well—and I’d love for you to know they’re out there.

InTune Focus Blend + Serenity/Balance/Vetiver (& now, Adaptiv)

I tried everything to help my son focus—and this was the first combo that truly made a difference. InTune Focus Blend is pre-diluted in a roller (super easy to apply before school or homework), and it’s made with oils specifically known for attention support:

  • Amyris and Patchouli to help settle the body

  • Frankincense and ‘Iliahi (Hawaiian Sandalwood) for clarity and grounding

  • Roman Chamomile and Ylang Ylang for emotional regulation

  • A splash of Lime to lift that mental fog

We’d roll it on the back of his neck or spine, and over time, I watched him go from easily distracted to more focused and calm. We also made our own custom blend using Serenity, Balance, and Vetiver—three oils that target restlessness and emotional overload. The combo supported his ability to settle and helped him stay calm in class or during homework. It didn’t fix everything—but it changed the tone of our whole day.

You also have a newer option called Adaptiv. There is an essential oil blend, and also a softgel supplement. Both are INCREDIBLE and designed to be used together. Love them. We didn't have that option back when my son was first diagnosed in elementary school - but now, this is one I would definitely include.

OnGuard+ Softgels

There’s nothing worse than finding your rhythm—only to get derailed by sickness. That used to be our fall story every single year… until we started using OnGuard+ Softgels.

Each one contains powerful essential oils like Clove, Cinnamon, Wild Orange, Oregano, Black Pepper, Melissa, and Eucalyptus—all chosen for their ability to support the immune system naturally. These oils are packed into a veggie capsule with no synthetic fillers, making them easy on little stomachs and strong enough to make a difference.

We use them at the first sign of anything. If someone starts feeling off, it’s 2 softgels 3x a day for a few days, then 1 softgel 3x a day after that. Everyone else takes 1 softgel daily for extra support—and we diffuse OnGuard essential oil throughout the house too.

The results? We bounce back faster. And the rest of the family often doesn’t catch it at all.

Serenity Sleep System + Adaptiv for Mom

Here’s what no one tells you: Moms need wellness tools too. Especially during back-to-school season. And honestly? When I’m sleeping well and not emotionally spinning, everything else feels easier.

The Serenity Sleep System changed my nights. I diffuse Serenity oil every evening—it’s a calming blend of lavender, vetiver, cedarwood, sandalwood, and Roman chamomile—and I take a Serenity Softgel about 30 minutes before bed. The combo helps me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

During the day, my favorite support is Adaptiv. It’s a calming blend I use when the house gets loud, my schedule’s tight, or my emotions start to bubble. It has Lavender, Wild Orange, Spearmint, Copaiba, Neroli, and more—each one helping soothe the nervous system and support focus and calm. I keep the roller in my purse and the capsules in my kitchen. It’s my secret weapon for handling life when it feels like a bit much.

 
 

Here’s what I love most about these tools: they’re simple. I didn’t have to be a wellness expert or rearrange our whole life to start using them. I just started—with one roller, one diffuser, one bottle of softgels.

And that’s when I started noticing:

  • My son was calmer, less reactive, and could actually think.

  • We weren’t constantly sick and out of routine.

  • I had more energy, more patience, and less “mom guilt” because I felt present.

These products don’t just patch symptoms—they work with the body to bring things back into balance. For a child with ADHD, that balance makes a huge difference. For a busy mom juggling everyone else’s needs, it means you don’t lose yourself in the chaos.

I wasn’t looking for a miracle—I just wanted something safe that worked. And that’s what I found. These oils gave us a rhythm we could count on and support we could feel. And over time? They gave me my confidence back as a mom.

You don’t have to figure it all out overnight. You just need tools that make life a little easier—and these were ours.

 
 

You’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just carrying more than most people realize—and trying to do it all with love, strength, and about five hours of sleep.

But what if you could go into this school year with real support?
✨ What if your child could focus—without feeling defeated?
✨ What if you could feel calmer, sleep better, and finally stop living in survival mode?

That’s what I want for you. And that’s what these products gave us. They helped us turn the hard parts of our life into something manageable—sometimes even peaceful.

You deserve that. Your family deserves that. And I’m here to help you get started if you’re ready. 💛
